Send message through Task manager
Hi, I am able see only my user id on Users Tab in Task manager. I am Local user (Non admin) Only Administrator is able to see all the users in Users tab. Need: Enable communication between users (non admin) logged on to same server. Is there any way Local users can send message through Task Manager? Please note: Both "Terminal Services" & "Fast User Switching Compatibility" services are already started. Thanks in Advance... Nikhil

I appreciate all your help on this. Actually I am fine with command line tools, however other users find it bit difficult when using command prompt...although the syntax of net send is very easy. Anyways, will try to find if I get any GUI tools. I found some like IPmessenger, but it works on IP address, however in my case we are using Terminal sessions, so that means we are on the same machine logically. Thanks for all your efforts!!!

Maybe the easy way is by creating VBS script that parse commad line parameters to "net send" Or i think that you can use something like this http://www.fomine.com/net-send-gui.html(not recommended,not tested)
